(contains possibly unrealistic air travel scenes, and a stuffed vulture) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3L_lH2ydp4">Wings Of A Dove</a>, by the group Madness, was a hit single (<a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/madness/wingsofadove.html">lyrics</a>) in 1983 in the UK and Ireland. The group, known for their fun and low-budget (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLLL1KxpYMA">dog runs across stage at 2:56</a>) videos, used footage from a French TV van ad. Carl Smyth allegedly had the idea for "Wings of a Dove" while watching the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1_kXPLcoIQ">Inspirational Choir of the Pentecostal First Born Church of the Living God</a> on late night television. Smyth claimed, in later album notes, that "a voice spoke to me and said 'Boy, write a song for these good people.'" Related on MetaFilter:

It is definitely not US election season, which means only one thing - Unauthorised superPAC ads for Hillary Clinton 2016!!! (Are you excited? I am excited!) Leading off this year - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfU3hI8ML30&feature=youtu.be">StandWithHillary</a> - a SuperPAC targeting white men in rural swing states.

<a href="http://wherediditallgorightblog.wordpress.com/2013/07/19/i-am-a-free-man/">Andrew Collins</a> started a blog in July 2013 - <a href="http://circlesoflife143.wordpress.com/">Circles of Life: The 143</a> - he's about half way through now. There are no embedded youtube clips or sound files because he "rejected it on the grounds that an embedded clip or sound file would detract from the purpose of the project, which is — selfishly — for me to exercise my fingers and brain in describing and contextualising 143 songs".
Doesn't mean I can't do it though (this <a href="http://metatalk.metafilter.com/22934/All-the-videos-have-em-all">Chrome extension</a> may come in handy):

One is the decisive moan Gedge delivers after the last line. There are a lot of important "oh"s in pop music, but this is one to bruise your ribs from the inside. The second is the one minute and 24 seconds of outro, which rises and falls from that thousand-words "Ohhh" to the final, undressed jangle.]

By the time Steve Nieve's piano cascades we're into full pulp fiction mode: a lot going on at a high level of emotion, in a very confined space. It's head-spinning.]
